Elections: Keep digging or try something new?
DNC Chair Tom Perez is stacking party committees to sideline Bernie Sanders and to push a corporate agenda that kills progressive ideas and campaigns.
The DNC is setting things up to make a sweep at their summer convention to ensure corporate domination of the party.
Nothing new here but consider the frustration & resignation of those who have wasted another election cycle chasing the elusive Democratic nomination.
Who comes to mind? Jesse Jackson, Dennis Kucinich, Bernie Sanders, Tulsi Gabbard, Marianne Williamson and many more. Have they changed the party? Made it more progressive?
Imagine how all the money poured into those campaigns could have funded a well-organized national political party that could have stood for the very issues we all support? And attracted a new generation of voters.
Should we keep digging the same hole or try something new?
